 pitiable professions:

Pitiable professions:

Recently pilot of an airliner was caught drunk on duty, and also two more were asleep on the flight (I suspect may be drunk) and overshot Mumbai airport.
It is a pity that profession like pilots where they earn about 6 lakhs per month and they cannot drink alcohol as and when they want is pitiable. Alas where else will they spend their hard earned money? Alas when they can afford to buy and drink as much alcohol they want but cannot consume even if they want to is a very pitiable situation.
Only option is they can sneak through when there is man power shortage of checkers as DGCA said or say when the checkers themselves are drunk on duty.
Or the best option is pilots can become teetotalers and do a great favour especially to frequent flyers who are deadly worried about their condition, what do you think?
Being on the subject you may notice that drunk driving especially among younger generation is on the rise. You may say they are on the ground and it is lesser evil. But I don’t want to get knocked over by these drivers and always make it a point to walk on the footpaths of Mumbai every time requesting poor hawkers to make some way for me. Ultimately footpaths are made for pedestrians and not as a market.

Drunk during duty is not good for life especially when you're working at altitudes.

Whatever u achieve is as per the wish of god.
If u empty a complete bucket of water to fill a tumbler you can't expect the tumbler to contain within it the capacity of a bucket.

Alongwith with each profession a sacrifice is associated. if u try to violate the rule, penalty does exist. a simple temptation fulfilment can be costly as was with the pilot
